KUCHING: Parti Rakyat Sarawak (PRS) deputy president Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum advised the public to remain vigilant of the possibility of an early general election.
He said this in light of the recent political upheaval and subsequent appointment of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin as Malaysia’s eighth Prime Minister.
In the event of an early general election, Salang said that it is a possibility that Sarawak may hold a simultaneous state election or it may choose otherwise.
“With the swearing in of Muhyiddin, we hope for some political calm and stability.
“We hope that the aspirations of Sarawak are not overlooked,” said the former Julau MP.
Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) president Muhyiddin was officially sworn in as Prime Minister at Istana Negara at 10.30am on Sunday.
On February 24, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad resigned from his position as the prime minister.
